I've recommended the Zoom 505 to many people. It runs about $100 and has all the chorus, flange, autowah, distortions, and phase shifters. I've used it for about 2 years, but i'm now trying to go away from the multi-effects and looking more at individual pedals. While you have a lot of cool effects for a low cost with the M-E, I feel that you can get a more personalized sound with the individual pedals.
